A survey of Chinese school children jointly conducted by the Chinese Young Pioneers Business Development Center and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences has found that a majority (60%) have accessed the internet at least once before they were ten years old.

According to the survey, about 47 percent of the minors surveyed owned a mobile phone and 40 percent used it to go online. The results show that most of the children use cell phones to chat, read blogs, play games and search for information on the Internet.

The survey, which lasted more than half a year, was conducted mainly among students aged between 10 and 18 years in 106 middle and elementary schools across the country. Some parents and teachers also participated in the survey.
